Zoom Presentation on OTC Hearing Aids:
Are They Right for You?
FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE!
Wednesday, December 21, 4:00-5:00 PM
Learn more about your many new hearing aid options! As of October 2022, hearing aids are available to purchase without a prescription anywhere health devices are sold. Designed to treat mild to moderate hearing loss in adults, this new affordable option addresses two significant barriers: delaying care due to cost and perceptions that assistive devices are not helpful in treating hearing loss.
Dr. Carrie Nieman, associate professor in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and co-founder of Access HEARS, is a clinician, researcher, and social entrepreneur committed to providing innovative solutions to address disparities in hearing care. During this session Dr. Nieman will discuss the pros and cons of the options available, the science behind the devices, and how to assess whether over-the-counter assistive devices are right for you.
